Reply to comment by IAmJohnny5ive in ELI5: What is the fastest way to stop a car with a manual gearbox ? by navenarf

I was always thought to pump the breaks without ABS to stop the fastest. Break hard till you start to loose traction release and break hard again.

Depends on the circumstances - pumping brakes is more for a steep downhill
